Have something to say? Becoming a speaker at events is a great way to share your message, grow your brand, and make some money. Be sure that your rights are protected by this legal contract, which was created for use by either speakers or event planners.

Categories: ,

Start Here!

Whether you're a keynote speaker delivering an inspirational message to a corporate conference or you're asked to host a webinar to a small group of influencers, you have an opportunity to teach, motivate, and encourage people across industries.

But before you take the stage, be sure that you have a contract that covers your work, your work product, and ensures a successful partnership. And if you're hiring a speaker for your event, having a signed legal agreement protects your investment and reputation.

This agreement defines everything from content delivery deadlines to speaker fees and travel expenses as well as the technology needed for the presentation.

Click through the tabs above to see what's included in this template, how it can be used and get answers to all of your other questions.

Who is This For?

If you get paid to speak at in-person events, host webinars, take part in online summits, or provide any kind of speaking services, this contract is for you.

Additionally, if you are the host of a conference, corporate retreat, or other event, this agreement lays out your expectations for your speaker as well as all of the deadlines and payment arrangements.

Once you purchase the template, you'll receive a license to reuse it for as many events as you'd like. Of course, that license does have some limits and you may only use it for your personal work but all of that is available in the fine print.

This template may be customized for projects that include:

  • In-person speaking events including keynote sessions, panel discussions and meet-and-greet gatherings.
  • Online webinars, summits or other educational programming.
  • Partnerships in which the speaker is paid and/or travel and expenses are covered by the event organizer.

What's Included?

  • A template that you can instantly download and use for as many speaking engagements as you want*.
  • Easy to follow instructions so you can customize the form with your information and for each project, the specific terms, and deliverables that will protect you and your work.
  • Specific protections for you when it comes to deliverables (what you agree to give the client and what the client agrees to give you!), payment, the copyright ownership for materials produced and distributed to attendees, and what happens if one party has to end the contract early.
  • There’s a lot more — like a confidentiality clause that ensures that anything shared between you and the client stays between you and language that clearly outlines your role — but the bottom line is: if you are working as a speaker or hiring someone to make a presentation to your audience, this agreement has everything you need.
